All introductory textbooks begin by attempting to convince the student readers that the subject is of great importance in the world, and therefore merits their attention. The physical sciences and engineering claim to be the basis of modern technology and therefore of modern life; the social sciences discuss big issues of governance, for example, democracy and taxation; the humanities claim that they revive your soul after it has been deadened by exposure to the physical and social sciences and to engineering.

Dixit and Skeath's Games of Strategy offers a practical motivation much more individual and closer to your personal concerns than most other subjects. You play games of strategy all the with your parents, siblings, friends, enemies, even with your professors.

This book's authors will build on this experience, systematize it, and develop it to the point where you will be able to improve your strategic skills and use them more methodically. Opportunities for such uses will appear throughout the rest of your life; you will go on playing such games with your employers, employees, spouses, children, and even strangers. Not that the subject lacks wider importance. Similar games are played in business, politics, diplomacy, wars--in fact

Surfaces and Essences is a fascinating exploration of how our brains use analogies to make sense of the world. Using examples that range from the simplest forms to infinitely complex constructions, the authors show how analogies help us find order in chaos. The book is written with trademark wit, making complex ideas accessible while still being challenging. This book would be great for anyone interested in the workings of the mind and how we make sense of the world around us.
